eDate Harmony Guide-AI Relationship Therapy

Example

An eDate session might start with a questionnaire tailored to capture the emotional state and communication preferences of one partner. This can help identify underlying issues such as unmet emotional needs or differences in conflict resolution styles.

Scenario

In a scenario where one partner feels unheard, the Guide might use the questionnaire responses to develop exercises that promote active listening and empathy within the relationship.

Example

Based on the initial assessment, the Guide might introduce specific therapeutic exercises aimed at breaking negative interaction patterns. For example, it could facilitate a 'stress-reducing conversation' as recommended by Gottman's principles, allowing each partner to discuss external stress without criticism or advice.

Scenario

Imagine a couple facing stress due to financial worries. The Guide could help them engage in a structured conversation that aims to support each other emotionally without escalating into blame.

Example

The Guide might suggest strategies such as 'softened start-up' or 'repair attempts', which are techniques from Gottman's method designed to ease tensions during disagreements and foster a constructive dialogue.

Scenario

For a couple who frequently escalates arguments over minor disagreements, the Guide could teach them the softened start-up approach, encouraging them to begin discussions with a positive or neutral statement instead of criticism.
